UNITED
NATIONS, July
29 -- Three
days ago,
inquiring into
financial
practices and
favoritism in
the UN, Inner
City Press asked
Secretary
General Ban
Ki-moon's
outgoing
deputy
spokesperson
Eduardo Del
Buey about
Room S-310
being locked
up by the UN
Correspondents
Association,
used for
"briefings"
only
publicized to
those who pay
it money -- on
that day,
about Syria.

The "Club
des Chefs des
Chefs" --
literally, 25
of those who
cook for heads
of state --
will set up
shop in the
room the UN
gives UNCA,
along with an
also locked-up
pantry, a
separate
office and
even a focus
booth used by
a
non-journalist
UNCA intern to
whom at the
request of
UNCA's 2013
president
Pamela Falk of
CBS the UN
gave a "P"
Press pass.

This
breaking news,
or breaking
eggs, event
was of course
not announced
even to all UN
accredited
resident
correspondents.
It was
"leaked" to
the Free
UN Coalition
for Access
by one of
UNCA's
disgruntled
members.

Then it was
confirmed on
the Twitter
feed of a long
time UNCA
officer
followed by a
mere dozen UN
correspondents,
but at least
two anonymous
accounts set
up by UNCA
Executive
Committee
members to
troll Inner
City Press.
(UNCA's
anonymous
social media
campaign
picked up on
Saturday July
27).

The UN
Media
Accreditation
and Liaison
Unit also
followed. Its
boss also in
charge of UNTV
-- which they
screen the
chefs, as UNCA
asked them to
do for Syria
oppositionists?
-- told FUNCA
that Room
S-310 would be
left unlocked
and the "UNCA
Pantry" was
just a
notation on a
blue print.
Right.

This is called
spying for the
UN. There is
something
rotten cooking
in this
kitchen,
alongside the
gushed-out
presence of
"White House
top chef
Chisteta
Comerford and,
yes, "Her
Majesty the
Queen's chef
Mark
Flanagan." The
murky finances
and spying
poison the
atmosphere.

Footnote:
the
talk of chefs
for heads of
state bring to
mind the
Europeans who
sauced up
human flesh
for France's
Central
African
Republic
strongman
Bokassa - more
on this in
connection
with the Mads
Brugger film
"The
Ambassador,"
which UN staff
say includes,
yes, Inner
City Press,
which reports
on CAR and the
ongoing CAR
Alarm...
